Outline curve highlighting must be temporarily deactivated during dash-line editing

The moment the slider is released, the highlighting should come back.

You can already accomplish that by pressing the Space Bar while making that adjustment to the stroke parameters.

Not obvious, but it works. Thank you.

Not a bug, but a feature 🙂

You're welcome.

It's the usual way in the Affinity applications to hide bounding boxes temporarily, as it gives you the View Tool temporarily.

But the logic I suggested is correct: the line width slider behaves exactly as I suggest. It would be logical to keep the behavior on the dash-line sliders as well.
